LEASING DAIRY FARMS.
Customary Terms for Renting wher,
Cows Are Furnished by the Lessee.

Customary Terms for Renting Where
Cows Are Furnished by the Lessee.
Sometimes the owner furnishes farm,
cows, implements, ETC., and the dairy
man all the labor in the dairy and on
the farm, including work horses. At
the beginning an invoice is taken of
the stock on hand. As sales of prod
uce or stock are made, the proceeds
are divided exually. Another invoice
is made at the end of the year, and the
gain or loss shared equally by the two
parties. No general rule can be given,
as there is so much variation in the
conditions. A renter can afford to
make a more liberal contract with a
man who furnishes good farm than
one run down, and the owner can do
his best by good dairymsn. As a
permanent lease, the plan of shares is
4 good one, but year of trial should
be given before a rigid lease is made
covering term of years. If the bust
sess is run one year and careful ac-
count kept, it will furnish sufficient
lata upon which to base an intelligent
ease for number of rears. Written
agreements should be made in all cases.
A statement of the plans found salts
factory in particular cases, would be of
interest, if given in detail by those who
nave worked land on shares. Prairie

HOW TO DUST A ROOM.
A Household Duty Whose Thorough Per
formance Requires Considerable Work

A Household Duty Whose Thorough Per.
formance Requires Considerable Work.
The proper way to dust a room is to
begin with the walls. Pin several thick
nesses of cloth over broom and sweep
the walls down thoroughly, leaving at
the same time all the doors and win
dows open. This matter of sweeping
the walls is important and should be
done once week in rooms that are
much used. Then with a damp cloth
wipe off the picture cords or wires, the
backs of all the picture frames and the
tops of the door and window frames.
If there is any danger of injuring pict-
ures or frames with damp cloth use a
dry one, but wipe them all off care
fully. As often as you can get good
draft which will carry the dust out OF
the window, shake and beat the cur
tains, whether they be Holland, lace,
scrim or what not, for they are prime
sinners in the matter of harboring dust.
The window-sash, sill and glass
should also receive attention. Use a
large cloth, with half of it well damp.
ened for busting, the dry end being
useful to wipe of small articles that
might be injured by dampness-and be
careful that you manipulate the cloth
so as to wipe the dust into it and KEEP
it there. If it gets dirty have clean
one, and always wash them out and
scald them after using. If there are
inside shutters to the windows they
need to be cared for almost as tenderly
as baby. A thorough cleaning every
week, carefully wiping both upper and
under sides of the Stats, is the only
thing that will keep them in decent
order. A room is not thoroughly dust
ed until all the furniture and wood
work and gas fixtures have been cleaned
with the damp buster. Upholstered
furniture should be taken out, brushed
all over and then wiped with the damp
cloth, not forgetting the under side.-

Corn is often ruined for seed in the
shock or in the barn after it is got in

favors the growth of minute molds and
fungi that kill the germ. Such corn,
though apparently sound, has a dull

l aim to have only mated pairs and
never break them up. There should
be only as many pairs as can have two
nesting places each. safe from disturb
ance by the others. Those that have
chosen nests and have used them for
breeding will generally defend and
hold them for life. They often have
eggs in one nest while feeding squads
in the other. Young pigeons can be
sold as squads as long as any yellow
down shows on the head, but the best
time to kill them is when they are
feathered out, and just before they are
ready to leave the nest. If too young,
they are soft; if they fly any, they get
thin. They should be collected every
week, or every two weeks at least. If
eggs are broken in the spring, all may
be brought to lay at about the same
time, and squads will be nearly the
same in age.
If it is desirable to increase the num-
Der of old birds, the late reared ones, if
allowed to remain, cause less disturb
ance, as they are not likely to mate be-
fore spring. Early reared birds might
be more hardy, but they soon mate and
fight for nests at time when there is
the most breeding; several may demon
alize the whole loft and cause much
loss of eggs and young. They are also

1t was pretty custom, long ago, for
lovers to exchange rings. The gentle
man did not have to spend a months
income for pretty trinket for which
he got no return, but he also wore and
cherished souvenir from his sweet
heart. Chaucer describes a heroine as
giving her lover ring on which were
engraved suitable love-mottoes. and
receiving like one in return. Shake
speare makes more than one allusion
to this custom. In the 1.-TWO Gentle-
men of Verona" Julia gives Proteus a
ring, saying. keep you this remem-
brance for thy Julia's sake" To
which he replies: why, then, we'll
make exchange; here, take you this"
A "gimmal" or linked ring was then
invented which gave still greater force
and significance to the custom. 1t was
made of double and often triple link.
